  • VQA Ontario Stakeholder Consultation - September 2018
    VQA Ontario Stakeholder Consultation - September 2018 CHANGES TO THE VQA REGULATION ON PERMITTED GRAPE VARIETIES Proposed Regulation Changes Under Discussion • Add Grape Variety “Marquette” to the List of Permitted Grape Varieties • Further Expansion to the List of Permitted Grape Varieties Background VQA regulations identify a specific list of grape varieties that are authorized for the production of VQA eligible wines. The list is divided into 3 sections: Part 1 – 79 Vitis vinifera varieties that are permitted for use in all VQA wines Part 2 – 8 Inter-specific hybrid varieties that are permitted for use only in wines labelled with origin “VQA Ontario” Part 3 – 15 Inter-specific hybrid varieties that are permitted for use up to a maximum of 15% content only when blended with hybrid varietal wines labelled with origin “VQA Ontario”. Several grape varieties have been added to Part 1 of the list since VQA Ontario began administering the regulation. No new varieties have been added to Part 2 or 3 of the list. The Ontario wine industry has expanded into new regions and new hybrid grape varieties have been developed and planted in Ontario. VQA Ontario has received a formal request to include the hybrid Marquette in the list of permitted hybrid grape varieties. Marquette Marquette is a hybrid variety developed in Minnesota and planted in the Ontario, Nova Scotia, Quebec and across the northeastern USA. It is promoted for its cold-hardiness and disease resistance. In accordance with VQA Ontario’s evaluation policy for new grape varieties, VQA Ontario’s Standards Development Committee received and reviewed detailed records of Marquette’s parentage and breeding history, including evidence that it has no material labrusca parentage.

  • A Junior Sommelier Course for the Maltese Catering Industry Personnel
    A Junior Sommelier Course for the Maltese Catering Industry Personnel John Zahra ITS Malta Master’s Degree D.P. Programme in Culinary Management and Innovation 2020 Abstract Date 01.10.2020 Author John Zahra Degree Programme Master’s in Culinary Management and Innovation Report/thesis title Number of pages and appendix pages A Junior Sommelier Course for the Maltese Catering 180 + 47 Industry Personnel The objective of this Master thesis is to verify if a Junior Sommelier course designed on the basis of previous research is adequate to be used in providing catering industry personnel with a professional wine service course to help improve the quality of wine service in Maltese catering outlets. The study seeks an answer to the question: does this Junior Sommelier course meet the present training need to deliver better wine service levels in Maltese cater- ing outlets? As a result, a full outline of the said course for subsequent implementation and use will be stated. The theoretical framework contains topics such as the Maltese Tourism industry develop- ment, the hotel and restaurants in Malta, the Maltese national qualifications network, what other wine courses are being provided internationally, and how adults learn. These topics help to understand the background for the need for such a course, which content should be in it and how prospective trainees can be taught said course. These topics open up on the concepts of service development, service quality, customer value and satisfaction. For the empirical research the author has undertaken to carry out two methods: three online surveys being sent out using SurveyMonkey, plus a Focus Group made of industry profes- sionals who gave feedback on the proposed course.

    Licence No 58292 30 Salamanca Square, Hobart GPO Box 2160, Hobart Tasmania, 7001 Australia Telephone +61 3 6224 1236 [email protected] www.livingwines.com.au Wine Talk: August 2013 The newsletter of Living Wines: Edition 38 This month we have seven special packs for you, including two packs of hard-to- find magnums that we have in stock. There are only a few of the magnum packs so we expect them to disappear quite quickly. We have been watching the stocks of Domaine de l’Octavin and Mylène Bru, which arrived recently disappearing out the door. We are also pleased to announce the imminent arrival of another new producer – this time from the Roussillon area close to the Spanish border. We have been lucky to be able to offer the fascinating wines from Jolly Ferriol who produce interesting white and red wines as well as traditional lines such as Muscat de Rivesaltes. They also do a great Pet Nat of which we will receive good stocks and a very rare rancio of which we’ll have hardly any stocks! But back to the Special Packs. The first is from our most recent arrivals from Domaine de l’Octavin in the Jura and Mylène Bru in the Languedoc. These wines (especially the Octavin) are in very short supply so this is probably the only opportunity for our newsletter subscribers to try some of their offerings. We have also put together a six pack that features the Grenache grape with some very interesting wines showing the many facets of this grape variety.

  • V.90-1-Adding a Bit of Scientific Rigor to the Art of Finding and Appreciating
    Wine 202: Adding a Bit of Scientific Rigor To the Art of Understanding and Appreciating Fine Wines Kenneth A. Haapala Provost General, Northeast, Brotherhood of the Knights of the Vine Abstract The murky history, local traditions, customs of wine making, and the lineage of vines and wines often confuse those who appreciate wines. One wine variety may have many different names. Conversely, the name of a wine may be the same in several locations, but the wine and vine may be totally different. A history of viniculture and why it is so convoluted are briefly discussed. The fickle characteristics of the vines explored; the diseases that almost destroyed the industry explained; several common misconceptions dismissed; and 20th Century efforts to rigorously identify vines and wines are briefly discussed. Rigorous efforts to understand the innumerable sensations of appreciating wines will be presented. Three individual experiments to better understand one’s palate and food and wine combinations will be described. History of Viticulture Unlike beer, which is made from the invented process of brewing, and unlike distilled spirits, which are made from the invented process of distillation, wine is made from the natural process of fermentation. Since the advent of fruits, wild yeasts have attacked ripe fruits resulting in the conversion of the sugars into alcohol. Although the fruits and the yeasts may differ, and the process refined somewhat, this natural process of making wine is largely unchanged. Man had no doubt observed apes, elephants, birds and other animals enjoying the natural fermentation of fruits. So one may conclude that man has also enjoyed the products of this natural process since his existence.

COMMUNICATING THE APPROVAL OF A STANDARD AMENDMENT ‘MITTERBERG’ Reference number: PGI-IT-A0295-AM02 Date of communication: 24.3.2020 DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT 1. Production of the semi-sparkling and passito types It has been specified that the semi-sparkling and passito types may made as both non-varietal and varietal wines (single- or multi-variety). This is a formal amendment that better defines these types as they currently exist. The amendment concerns Article 2 of the product specification but does not concern the single document 2. Update to the list of grape varieties approved for production of the wines Johanniter B., Solaris B., Muscaris B. and Souvignier gris B. have been added to the list of varieties that may be used for the wines. With the amendment, these varieties have been added to the list of varieties in Annex 1 to the product specification and may therefore be used to produce both non-varietal and varietal (single- or multi-variety) ‘Mitterberg’ PGI wines. The amendment concerns Article 2 of and Annex 1 to the product specification and point 1.7 of the single document.
